Homer Elsie Summy

Homer Elsie Summy, 92, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2025, surrounded by the love and comfort of his family. He was born on February 6, 1933, in Mount Pleasant, PA to the late Charles and Mable Summy. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by 3 brothers and 2 sisters. A proud veteran of the United States Army, Homer’s life was shaped by service, dedication, and a deep commitment to family and community. Homer dedicated much of his working life to the General Motors Corporation. After retirement from GM, he spent over twenty years working for the Beaver County Conservation District as a Field Assistant. Homer and his crew spent many hours making sure the Maple Syrup Festival was a huge success. Outside of his working career, he had a great passion for his Steelers and Pirates, labradors, and the outdoors; specifically gardening, hunting, and fishing. As an avid gardener, Homer was famous for his “dandy” tomatoes that were rich in color and flavor. His home-grown tomatoes won many prizes at the Hookstown fair and were a shoppers favorite at the local fruit market. Being outdoors allowed Homer to spend precious time with family and friends, two things he cherished more than anything. He had a group of fond friends that were part of the Green Card Club. Homer is survived by his loving wife, Shelley (Blair) Summy, who was his companion and partner in all things. Together, they built a home filled with love and laughter. He is remembered by his three children: Sherry (Joe) Hatala, Douglas Summy, and Carri (Dave) Drake. Homer’s pride in his family extended to his grandchildren; Jason, Laura, Blair, Desten, Cameron, and Paige. His two great-grandchildren, Olivia and Jaxon brought laughter and joy lit up his later years. He is also survived by a sister, a brother, and a host of nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in his heart. He was a devoted member of Ohio United Presbyterian Church. As we celebrate his life and mourn his passing, we remember a man whose legacy and memory will continue to grow for generations to come. Friends and family will be received for a visitation on Friday at 1:00pm until 3:30 pm with a brief service immediately following at the ANTHONY MASTROFRANCESCO FUNERAL HOME INC. 2026 McMinn Street Aliquippa PA 15001. 724-375-0496. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that friends make a donation to their local humane society.
